Hi Aj
Apparently they are easy to grow from cutting but we just havent figured out how. As they are so new to cultivation there is little experience as yet.
All of the commecial ones propagate from the original trees, have been done so in petri dishes in Agar. They were done in large scale in commercial controlled environments so probably not repeatable by us amatures at home.

I have tried to strike them from just the leaves with no sucess and some others I know have also tried with the cut "leaf" stem.

I suspect our best chance will be to take a section of cutting from the branch itself.
